A New Method of Calculating the Concept Similarity

The study of Concept Similarity is a very important aspect of Knowledge Representation and Information Retrieval in Artificial Intelligence, and it is also a bottleneck that hasn’t been well solved in the Ontology Research. In this article, we take every influencing factor into account, especially the area density, a new method of concept similarity based-on Domain Ontology is suggested. The experiment results show that: the new method we proposed in this article can more reasonably describe the concept similarity.
